Interrupted quotations

Sometimes a speaker tag lands in the middle of a sentence. To give you an example of this sort of placement, I revisit Betsy, who narrowly missed being squashed by a falling piano. (Her story is in “And I Quote ” at the beginning of this chapter.)

“I think I’ll sue,” Betsy explained, “for emotional distress.”

“You can’t imagine,” she added, “what I felt.”

“The brush of the piano against my nose,” she sighed, “will be with me forever.”

“The scent of tuna,” she continued, “brings it all back.”
